The Kodiac colt Shem is a noteworthy newcomer for the Middleham maestro Mark Johnston, while the Harzand filly Zahrisa merits a basic market check on her debut for Declan Carroll. However, we'll focus on those with more experience in search of the winner. John Quinn's Footstepstothehart took a slight step forward (behind the speedy Spright) at York latest, but the form benchmark is clearly set by the Cheveley Park Stud-owned HUMID (Richard Fahey). She overcame clear and obvious signs of inexperience to finish a creditable fourth to Brazen Belle on debut at Catterick, and that winner wasn't beaten far (eighth) in the Newbury Super Sprint Stakes subsequently.
